Raw Seed Beet Red and Gold | Dual Variety Mixed Beetroot

This blend of beets contains a 50/50 split of Detroit Dark Red and Golden Detroit. Both are vibrantly coloured and can be harvested for their roots and tops, because nature is awesome like that. In fact, the Golden Detroit’s delicious, golden-veined leaves are almost the star of the show. Almost. Grate these babies raw into salads or pickle them for the winter.
